Use Precision Tools
A variety of precision tools are available to help you
produce quick, accurate drawings without performing
tedious calculations. Although all your work is based on
a coordinate system, you can establish settings that
cause you to snap to locations on the screen, to specified
locations on objects, or to points relative to other
locations or objects. You also can display information
about existing objects.
